Walkthrough part 17

Ninja Blade Walkthrough

Ken's father has finally submitted to the power of the parasites, so it's Ken's duty now to put an end to this all. During the fight, you can destroy the surrounding boxes to find a Magatama Emblem, Outfit and Shinobi Moji. As expected of Ken's mentor, Kanbe is a skilled opponent who is quick and ruthless. It's not easy to find Kanbe's guard down for an open attack, but there are a few ways to break his guard: a downward smash with jump Y using Stonerender Sword, Lightning Shuriken and attacking while he attacks. His wind projectile attack is blockable and use Ninja Vision (or the magic of sight) to sort through his shadow clones.

With about a quarter of his life gone, Kanbe goes on the defensive and withdraws, but not without goading Ken to go after him. Hop through the hole in the elevator shaft and press A to land. The fight continues from here on the moving elevator. Be careful not to touch the sides of the vertical shaft, as Ken will take damage from doing so. Continue to bring on the pain to initiate another QTE sequence.

QTE #49

UP, A, UP, A

In this third phase of sorts, Kanbe is engulfed in a circular red shield that first appears to be impenetrable, but after the following QTE sequence Kanbe will no longer be able to escape harm. When you regain control of Ken, search the barrels for a Chi Piece.

QTE #50

UP, DOWN, X, X, Y, Y, Y, Y

Use the Oni-blade to eat up his red shield and then quickly switch to the Stonerender to deliver particularly harmful blows while at the same time continuously breaking his guard. Kanbe summons a whole army of blood-thirsty bats around him. Use the Twins to put them down quickly, then re-focus Kanbe. You will also need to switch weapons constantly in order to avoid soaking up damage from your own blades.

QTE #51

Y, UP, A, UP, A, A

Kanbe stands his ground at the top of Tokyo Tower, but he will call upon number shadow clones as his life falls lower. You will have to use the Oni-Blade to either kill his shadow clones until Kanbe returns. Even then, Kanbe may be immune to attacks for a bit while the clones are around. Otherwise, same stuff applies, and this time Kanbe Ogawa won't have anywhere else to run.
